Description

脱塩装置の運転方法Operation method of desalting equipment
 本発明は、脱塩装置の運転方法に係り、特に第1脱塩装置と第2脱塩装置とを有する脱塩装置の運転方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method of operating a desalting device, and more particularly to a method of operating a desalting device having a first desalting device and a second desalting device.
 逆浸透(RO)膜等の脱塩装置では、長期間の運転により炭酸カルシウム、シリカ、フッ化カルシウム等のスケールの析出や、有機物による膜閉塞が発生し、塩除去率の低下や透過水量の低下等の脱塩装置の性能低下をもたらす。スケール閉塞の場合、脱塩装置の性能低下を防ぐために原水中のイオン濃度を測定し、脱塩装置の濃縮水において飽和指数を超えないように運転する方法が採用される。ここで飽和指数とは、スケール生成に関与する各イオン種の濃度・イオン強度の積を溶解度積で割った値の対数値を一般的に指す。この飽和指数がゼロを超えないような範囲で脱塩装置を運転する。さらに飽和指数がゼロを超えるような場合においては、例えばスケール防止剤の添加によってスケールの生成を抑制し、脱塩装置を運転する。 In desalination equipment such as reverse osmosis (RO) membranes, long-term operation causes deposition of scales such as calcium carbonate, silica, and calcium fluoride, and membrane clogging due to organic matter, resulting in a decrease in salt removal rate and a decrease in the amount of permeated water. This leads to deterioration in the performance of the desalination device, such as deterioration. In the case of scale clogging, a method of measuring the ion concentration in the raw water and operating the concentrated water of the desalting device so as not to exceed the saturation index is adopted in order to prevent the performance of the desalting device from deteriorating. Here, the saturation index generally refers to the logarithm of the value obtained by dividing the product of concentration and ionic strength of each ion species involved in scale formation by the solubility product. The desalination unit is operated in such a range that the saturation index does not exceed zero. Furthermore, when the saturation index exceeds zero, the desalting apparatus is operated after suppressing the formation of scale, for example, by adding a scale inhibitor.
 スケール防止剤の添加によっても抑制不可能であるような飽和指数を大きく超える水質である場合、従来ではスケールを除去するために酸洗浄やアルカリ洗浄の薬品洗浄が行われてきた。しかし一般的な洗浄では、装置を止め、洗浄液で洗浄し、洗浄液を回収した後に通水を再開することから、洗浄コストが大きくなる。そこで、長期間運転しても脱塩装置の性能が低下することなく、薬品洗浄を必要としない脱塩装置の運用が望まれていた。 If the water quality greatly exceeds the saturation index, which cannot be suppressed even by adding scale inhibitors, conventionally, chemical cleaning such as acid cleaning and alkaline cleaning has been performed to remove scale. However, in general cleaning, the cleaning cost increases because the apparatus is stopped, the cleaning liquid is used, and the water supply is restarted after the cleaning liquid is recovered. Therefore, it has been desired to operate a desalting apparatus that does not require cleaning with chemicals without degrading the performance of the desalting apparatus even after long-term operation.
 脱塩装置の運転方法の一つとして、フラッシング法が挙げられる。ここでフラッシングとは、給水ポンプの稼働を継続したまま、濃縮水排出配管の開閉弁を開とすることにより、濃縮水排出配管から給水を系外へ排出させる操作を指す。通常運転時より速い流速で通水することにより、膜面を閉塞させる汚れを効果的に洗い流すことができる。フラッシングは、1~10回/日の頻度で、30~120秒/回で行うことが一般である。しかし、数分/回程度のフラッシングでは性能低下した脱塩装置を回復させることは不十分であり、結局洗浄液による洗浄を実施せざるをえない。またフラッシングを行う場合、濃縮水配管の開閉弁を開とすることから、フラッシングを行う間は、透過水の生産を行うことができず、脱塩装置の回収率は低下してしまう。
 さらに、RO給水相当の塩類濃度では、フラッシングによる性能低下した脱塩装置を回復させることは不十分であり、塩類濃度の低い水でフラッシングを行うことが望ましい。
One method of operating a desalinator is a flushing method. Here, flushing refers to the operation of discharging water from the concentrated water discharge pipe to the outside of the system by opening the on-off valve of the concentrated water discharge pipe while the water supply pump continues to operate. Contamination blocking the membrane surface can be effectively washed away by passing water at a higher flow rate than during normal operation. Flushing is generally performed at a frequency of 1 to 10 times/day for 30 to 120 seconds/time. However, flushing for several minutes/time is not sufficient to restore the performance of the desalting apparatus, and cleaning with a cleaning liquid is inevitable. In addition, since the on-off valve of the concentrated water pipe is opened when flushing is performed, permeated water cannot be produced during flushing, and the recovery rate of the desalting apparatus decreases.
Furthermore, the salt concentration equivalent to RO feed water is insufficient to restore the performance of the desalting apparatus whose performance has deteriorated due to flushing, and it is desirable to perform flushing with water having a low salt concentration.
 その他の方法として、モジュールの被処理水の流れ方向を反転させる方法がある。この方法によると、原水スペーサーに蓄積した濁質を容易に剥がすことが可能となり、脱塩装置の安定性が向上する(特許文献1、2)。しかし、流れを反転させるために必要なバルブ数が大幅に増え、イニシャルコストが大幅に増加してしまう。また、バルブに故障が生じた場合、バルブの切り替えを行うことができず、装置の安定性が大きく損なわれてしまう。さらに流れ反転によるスケール物質に対する剥離効果については言及されていない。 Another method is to reverse the flow direction of the water to be treated in the module. According to this method, it becomes possible to easily remove the turbidity accumulated in the raw water spacer, thereby improving the stability of the desalination apparatus (Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, the number of valves required for reversing the flow is significantly increased, resulting in a significant increase in initial cost. In addition, if a valve fails, the valve cannot be switched, and the stability of the device is greatly impaired. Furthermore, no mention is made of the detachment effect on scale material due to flow reversal.
 特許文献3には、Fイオン、Alイオン、及びNaイオン濃度の低い洗浄水を通水してスケールを洗浄する方法が記載されている。この方法では、逆浸透膜処理工程における流量、圧力、水温の値から算出される標準化透過水量(補正透過水量)と、予め設定された初期標準化透過水量との比率が規定値となったときに、洗浄水の通水に切り替える。しかし、この方法では、低下した脱塩装置の性能を十分に回復させることはできないことが判明した。 Patent Document 3 describes a method of washing scale by passing washing water with low concentrations of F ions, Al ions, and Na ions. In this method, when the ratio between the standardized permeate amount (corrected permeate amount) calculated from the values of flow rate, pressure, and water temperature in the reverse osmosis membrane treatment process and the preset initial standardized permeate amount becomes a specified value , switch to flow of washing water. However, it has been found that this method cannot sufficiently recover the degraded performance of the desalting apparatus.

The thick solid line indicates the flow of water during operation. In the figure, PI indicates a pressure sensor, and FI indicates a flow sensor.
 この実施の形態では、第1RO装置4と、第2RO装置とが直列に設置されている。第2RO装置として、2個の第2RO装置21,22が並列に設置されている。図1では一方の第2RO装置21が通常運転し、他方の第2RO装置22が希薄水通水運転しており、図2では該一方の第2RO装置21が、希薄水通水運転し、該他方の第2RO装置22が通常運転している。 In this embodiment, the first RO device 4 and the second RO device are installed in series. As the second RO device, two second RO devices 21 and 22 are installed in parallel. In FIG. 1, one second RO device 21 is in normal operation and the other second RO device 22 is in lean water flow operation, and in FIG. The other second RO device 22 is operating normally.
[図1の運転時]
 図1の通り、原水タンク1内の原水は、ポンプ2、配管3を介して第1RO装置4に供給され、脱塩水(透過水)が配管31、バルブ32、配管33を介して脱塩水として取り出される。
[During operation in Fig. 1]
As shown in FIG. 1, the raw water in the raw water tank 1 is supplied to the first RO device 4 via the pump 2 and the pipe 3, and the desalinated water (permeated water) is passed through the pipe 31, the valve 32, and the pipe 33 as desalted water. taken out.
 第1RO装置4の濃縮水(第1濃縮水)は、配管34、35、バルブ36、配管37を介して一方の第2RO装置21に供給される。 The concentrated water (first concentrated water) of the first RO device 4 is supplied to one second RO device 21 via pipes 34 and 35, valve 36, and pipe 37.
 第2RO装置21の脱塩水(透過水)は、配管61、62を介して前記配管33に合流し、脱塩水として取り出される。第2RO装置21の濃縮水は、配管63、バルブ64、配管65、バルブ66、配管67を介して濃縮水として取り出される。 The desalted water (permeated water) of the second RO device 21 joins the pipe 33 via pipes 61 and 62 and is taken out as desalted water. Condensed water in the second RO device 21 is taken out as concentrated water via a pipe 63 , a valve 64 , a pipe 65 , a valve 66 and a pipe 67 .
 配管34から分岐した配管38がバルブ39、配管40を介して他方の第2脱塩装置22の給水口に接続されている。図1ではバルブ39は閉とされている。 A pipe 38 branched from the pipe 34 is connected via a valve 39 and a pipe 40 to the water inlet of the second desalination device 22 on the other side. In FIG. 1 the valve 39 is closed.
 配管31、37間が配管41、バルブ42によって接続されている。また、前記配管31、40間が配管43、バルブ44によって接続されている。図1ではバルブ42は閉、バルブ44は開とされている。そのため、配管31の第1脱塩水の一部は、配管43、40を介して第2脱塩装置22の給水口に供給され、第2脱塩装置22が希薄水通水運転される。 The pipes 31 and 37 are connected by a pipe 41 and a valve 42 . Further, the pipes 31 and 40 are connected by a pipe 43 and a valve 44 . In FIG. 1, valve 42 is closed and valve 44 is open. Therefore, part of the first desalted water in the pipe 31 is supplied to the water supply port of the second desalinator 22 through the pipes 43 and 40, and the second desalinator 22 is operated with dilute water.
 この他方の第2RO装置22の希薄水通水運転時には、該他方の第2RO装置22の脱塩水は、配管73、62を介して配管33に合流し、脱塩水として取り出される。第2RO装置22の濃縮水は、配管74、77、バルブ78、配管79、71を介して原水タンク1に返送される。 During the dilute water flow operation of the other second RO device 22, the desalted water of the other second RO device 22 joins the pipe 33 via the pipes 73 and 62 and is taken out as desalted water. The concentrated water from the second RO device 22 is returned to the raw water tank 1 via pipes 74, 77, a valve 78, and pipes 79, 71.
[図2の運転時]
 図1とは逆に、図2では該一方の第2脱塩装置21が希薄水通水運転し、該他方の第2脱塩装置22が通常運転している。この場合も、原水タンク1内の原水は、ポンプ2、配管3を介して第1RO装置4に供給され、脱塩水(透過水)が配管31、バルブ32、配管33を介して脱塩水として取り出される。
[During operation in Fig. 2]
Contrary to FIG. 1, in FIG. 2, one of the second demineralizers 21 is operating with dilute water, and the other second demineralizer 22 is normally operating. In this case also, the raw water in the raw water tank 1 is supplied to the first RO device 4 via the pump 2 and the pipe 3, and the desalinated water (permeated water) is taken out as desalted water via the pipe 31, the valve 32, and the pipe 33. be
 図2では、バルブ36が閉、バルブ39が開とされている。そのため、第1RO装置4の濃縮水(第1濃縮水)は、配管34、38、バルブ39、配管40を介して他方の第2RO装置22に供給される。 In FIG. 2, the valve 36 is closed and the valve 39 is open. Therefore, the concentrated water (first concentrated water) of the first RO device 4 is supplied to the other second RO device 22 via pipes 34 and 38 , valve 39 and pipe 40 .
 第2RO装置22の脱塩水(透過水)は、配管73、62を介して前記配管33に合流し、脱塩水として取り出される。第2RO装置22の濃縮水は、配管74、75,バルブ76を介して、配管65に流れ、濃縮水として取り出される。 The desalted water (permeated water) of the second RO device 22 joins the pipe 33 via the pipes 73 and 62 and is taken out as desalted water. Condensed water from the second RO device 22 flows through pipes 74, 75 and valve 76 into pipe 65 and is taken out as concentrated water.
 また、図2ではバルブ42は開、バルブ44は閉とされている。そのため、配管31の第1脱塩水の一部は、配管42、37を介して一方の第2脱塩装置21の給水口に供給され、第2脱塩装置21が希薄水通水運転される。該一方の第2RO装置21の脱塩水は、配管61、62を介して配管33に合流し、脱塩水として取り出される。該一方の第2RO装置21の濃縮水は、配管63、68、バルブ69、配管70、71を介して原水タンク1に返送される。 Also, in FIG. 2, the valve 42 is open and the valve 44 is closed. Therefore, a part of the first desalted water in the pipe 31 is supplied to the water supply port of one of the second desalting devices 21 through the pipes 42 and 37, and the second desalting device 21 is operated with dilute water. . The desalted water of the one second RO device 21 joins the pipe 33 via the pipes 61 and 62 and is taken out as desalted water. The concentrated water of the one second RO device 21 is returned to the raw water tank 1 via the pipes 63, 68, the valve 69, and the pipes 70, 71.
 このように、図1、2の脱塩装置の運転方法においては、並列設置された2台の第2脱塩装置21、22のうち一方で通常運転しながら、他方で第1脱塩水を通水して希薄水通水運転を行うことで、脱塩装置を停止することなく、第2RO装置の性能低下を防ぐことができる。 1 and 2, one of the two second desalting devices 21 and 22 installed in parallel is normally operated while the other is passing the first desalted water. By performing the dilute water flow operation with water, it is possible to prevent deterioration of the performance of the second RO device without stopping the desalination device.
 図1、2では、第1RO装置4が1基設置され、第2RO装置21、22が合計2基設置されているが、それ以上ずつ設置されてもよい。また、図1、2では、第2RO装置21,22それぞれが希薄水通水運転しているときには、希薄水は濃縮水と脱塩水とに分離されているが、脱塩水流路のバルブ(図示せず)を閉じることで希薄水は濃縮水と脱塩水とに分離せず、第2RO装置21,22からは濃縮水のみを排出するようにしても良い。 1 and 2, one first RO device 4 is installed and a total of two second RO devices 21 and 22 are installed, but more may be installed each. In FIGS. 1 and 2, when the second RO devices 21 and 22 are in the diluted water flow operation, the diluted water is separated into concentrated water and desalinated water. (not shown) may be closed so that the diluted water is not separated into concentrated water and desalted water, and only the concentrated water is discharged from the second RO devices 21 and 22 .
[希薄水の通水速度]
 希薄水の通水速度は、脱塩装置の閉塞状態に応じて適宜決定することができるが、例えば逆浸透膜の場合、0.001~1m/s、特に0.02~0.2m/sが好ましい。具体的には、4インチモジュールでは1本あたり300~2000L/Hrであることが好ましく、8インチモジュールでは1本あたり1.8~10m/Hrであることが好ましい。また、脱塩装置の濃縮水排出側での圧力は0.1~2MPaであることが好ましい。
[Flow rate of dilute water]
The flow rate of dilute water can be appropriately determined according to the clogging state of the desalting device. is preferred. Specifically, it is preferably 300 to 2000 L/Hr per one 4-inch module, and 1.8 to 10 m 3 /Hr per one 8-inch module. Further, the pressure on the concentrated water discharge side of the desalting device is preferably 0.1 to 2 MPa.
[希薄水を通水する第2脱塩装置の切り替えタイミング]
 第2RO装置の補正透過フラックスが運転初期から低下する前に、具体的には運転初期から5%以上低下するよりも前に、希薄水を通水する第2RO装置を切り替える。なお、この5%は一例であり、1~5%の間から選択された値であればよい。特に、第2RO装置において最も濃縮のかかる末端ROの透過フラックスの変化を測定することが好ましい。補正透過フラックスは、後述の実施例に記載の通りである。
[Switching timing of the second desalination device through which dilute water is passed]
Before the corrected permeation flux of the second RO device drops from the initial stage of operation, specifically before it drops by 5% or more from the initial stage of operation, the second RO device through which lean water is passed is switched. Note that this 5% is just an example, and any value selected from between 1 and 5% may be used. In particular, it is preferable to measure the change in permeation flux of the most concentrated terminal RO in the second RO device. The corrected transmission flux is as described in the examples below.
 補正透過フラックスの減少量を検知するのではなく、所定時間、一方の第2RO装置を所定時間通常運転し他方の第2RO装置を希薄水通水運転した後に、該一方の第2RO装置を通常運転とし該他方の第2RO装置を希薄水通水運転に切り替えることも可能である。この所定時間としては、10~240分、特に30~180分、例えば約90分が例示される。 Instead of detecting the amount of decrease in the corrected permeated flux, one of the second RO devices is normally operated for a predetermined period of time and the other second RO device is operated with lean water, and then the one of the second RO devices is operated normally. However, it is also possible to switch the other second RO device to lean water flow operation. This predetermined time is exemplified by 10 to 240 minutes, especially 30 to 180 minutes, eg about 90 minutes.
[希薄水の水質]
 上記実施の形態では、希薄水として第1脱塩水を用いているが、本発明では、希薄水は、溶解塩類が飽和溶解度未満となっていればよい。したがって、第2脱塩水(第2RO装置の透過水)を希薄水として用いてもよい。また、第1RO装置または第2RO装置の透過水と原水とを混合したものを希薄水として用いてもよい。更には第1RO装置または第2RO装置の透過水と第1濃縮水とを混合したものを希薄水として用いてもよい。溶解塩類の飽和溶解度とは、Xのモル濃度[X]及びYのモル濃度[Y]に関してスケール種XYの溶解度積Kspについて、[X][Y]=Kspを満たすものである。
[Quality of dilute water]
In the above embodiment, the first desalted water is used as the dilute water, but in the present invention, the dissolved salts in the dilute water should be less than the saturation solubility. Therefore, the second desalted water (permeated water of the second RO device) may be used as diluted water. Further, a mixture of the permeated water of the first RO device or the second RO device and raw water may be used as diluted water. Furthermore, a mixture of the permeated water of the first RO device or the second RO device and the first concentrated water may be used as diluted water. The saturated solubility of a dissolved salt satisfies [X + ][Y ]=Ksp for the solubility product Ksp of scale type XY with respect to the molar concentration of X + [X + ] and the molar concentration of Y − [ Y ]. is.
 なお、希薄水の水温が低い場合は透過水量の回復効果は小さいため、希薄水の水温は20℃以上特に25℃以上であることが好ましい。 When the temperature of the dilute water is low, the effect of recovering the amount of permeated water is small.
[希薄水に添加するスケール防止剤]
 希薄水にはスケール防止剤を添加してもよい。スケール防止剤を添加することでスケールの溶解力の向上および溶解したスケールの再付着防止という効果を得ることができる。
[Scale inhibitor added to dilute water]
A scale inhibitor may be added to the dilute water. By adding a scale inhibitor, it is possible to obtain the effects of improving the dissolving power of scale and preventing reattachment of dissolved scale.
 スケール防止剤は、用いる脱塩装置の種類や原水によって適宜選択することができる。脱塩装置として逆浸透膜装置を用い、炭酸カルシウムスケールが生成するような被処理水の場合には、2-ホスホノブタン-1,2,4-トリカルボン酸等のホスホン酸やアクリル酸と2―アクリルアミド-2-メチルプロパンスルホン酸の共重合ポリマー、ポリアクリル酸などを用いることができ、フッ化カルシウムスケールが生成するような被処理水の場合には、2-ホスホノブタン-1,2,4-トリカルボン酸等のホスホン酸、ポリアクリル酸などを用いることができる。また、これらスケール防止剤の添加量は10~1000mg/L程度である。 The scale inhibitor can be appropriately selected according to the type of desalination equipment used and the raw water. A reverse osmosis membrane device is used as a desalination device, and in the case of water to be treated that produces calcium carbonate scale, phosphonic acid such as 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid, acrylic acid and 2-acrylamide -Copolymer of 2-methylpropanesulfonic acid, polyacrylic acid, etc. can be used, and in the case of water to be treated that produces calcium fluoride scale, 2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid Phosphonic acid such as acid, polyacrylic acid, and the like can be used. The amount of these scale inhibitors added is about 10 to 1000 mg/L.
 なお、希薄水にpH調整剤を添加し、スケールの溶解力の向上および溶解したスケールの再付着防止という効果を得るようにしてもよい。 It should be noted that a pH adjuster may be added to the dilute water to obtain the effects of improving the dissolving power of scale and preventing reattachment of dissolved scale.
[希薄水の通水方向]
 図1のように希薄水を通水する場合は、第2RO装置の給水側から通水するのが好ましいが、第2RO装置の濃縮水出口側から通水しても構わない。また希薄水を通水している間は、脱塩装置の濃縮水が飽和溶解度未満の範囲内で回収率を維持し、処理水を生産しながら通水しても構わない。
[Direction of flow of dilute water]
When dilute water is passed through as shown in FIG. 1, it is preferable to pass through the water supply side of the second RO device, but water may be passed through the concentrated water outlet side of the second RO device. In addition, while dilute water is being passed through, the recovery rate of concentrated water from the demineralizer may be maintained within the range of less than the saturated solubility, and water may be passed while producing treated water.
 上記実施の形態では、RO装置が2段に設置されているが、3段以上に設置されてもよい。なお、3段以上に設置した場合には、希薄水を通水する脱塩装置は最後段のものとすることが好ましい。 Although the RO devices are installed in two stages in the above embodiment, they may be installed in three or more stages. When three or more stages are installed, it is preferable that the desalinator through which dilute water is passed is the one at the last stage.
[第1濃縮水の水質]
 本発明は、第2RO装置でフッ化カルシウムスケールまたは炭酸カルシウムスケールが生成する場合に好適に用いることができる。具体的には、第2RO装置に供給される第1濃縮水が以下の場合に好適に用いることができる。
水温20℃以上
pH<6.0
カルシウムイオン濃度:50~500mg/L(好ましくは100~250mg/L)
アルミニウムイオン濃度:0.01~0.5mg/L(好ましくは0.1~0.25mg/L)
鉄イオン濃度:0.01~0.25mg/L(好ましくは0.1~0.25mg/L)
シリカ濃度:500~1500mg/L(好ましくは700~1200mg/L)
[Quality of first concentrated water]
The present invention can be suitably used when calcium fluoride scale or calcium carbonate scale is generated in the second RO device. Specifically, the first concentrated water supplied to the second RO device can be suitably used in the following cases.
Water temperature 20°C or higher pH < 6.0
Calcium ion concentration: 50-500 mg/L (preferably 100-250 mg/L)
Aluminum ion concentration: 0.01 to 0.5 mg/L (preferably 0.1 to 0.25 mg/L)
Iron ion concentration: 0.01 to 0.25 mg/L (preferably 0.1 to 0.25 mg/L)
Silica concentration: 500-1500 mg/L (preferably 700-1200 mg/L)
 図3,4に示す試験装置を用いて模擬原水の処理運転(図3)及び第2RO装置への希薄水通水運転(図4)を交互に行った。なお、本試験では、フラックス値として補正透過フラックス値を用いる。 Using the test equipment shown in Figures 3 and 4, the simulated raw water treatment operation (Figure 3) and the dilute water flow operation to the second RO device (Figure 4) were alternately performed. In addition, in this test, the corrected permeation flux value is used as the flux value.
[補正透過フラックス]
 実際の透過フラックスは、運転圧力、水温、給水中の塩類濃度の影響を受けるため、RО装置の性能を示すデータとして補正透過フラックスで規定することが望ましい。
[Corrected transmission flux]
Since the actual permeation flux is affected by the operating pressure, water temperature, and salt concentration in the feed water, it is desirable to specify the corrected permeation flux as data indicating the performance of the RO device.
 ここで、補正透過フラックスはJIS K 38021990に示されるような逆浸透膜エレメント及びモジュール透過水量性能データの標準化方法に記載の方法で算出することが一般的である。 Here, the corrected permeation flux is generally calculated by the method described in the method for standardizing permeation water amount performance data of reverse osmosis membrane elements and modules as shown in JIS K 38021990.
 すなわち、透過水量性能データは以下の式(1)によって補正することで、補正透過フラックスFpsとして算出する。 That is, the water permeation performance data is corrected by the following formula (1) to calculate the corrected permeation flux Fps .

<図3,4の脱塩装置の構成>
 原水タンク81内の原水が、ポンプ82、配管83を介して送水可能とされている。配管83は配管84,85に分岐し、第1RO装置86,87に接続されている。第1RO装置86,87の透過水は、配管88,89及び合流配管90を介して脱塩水として取り出し可能とされている。
<Structure of Desalting Apparatus in FIGS. 3 and 4>
Raw water in a raw water tank 81 can be sent through a pump 82 and a pipe 83 . The pipe 83 branches into pipes 84 and 85 and is connected to first RO devices 86 and 87 . Permeated water from the first RO devices 86 and 87 can be taken out as demineralized water via pipes 88 and 89 and a confluence pipe 90 .
 第1RO装置86,87の濃縮水は、配管91,92及び合流配管93を介して第2RO装置94に供給される。第2RO装置94の透過水は、配管95から配管90に合流する。第2RO装置94の濃縮水は、配管96を介して系外に排出される。 The concentrated water from the first RO devices 86 and 87 is supplied to the second RO device 94 via the pipes 91 and 92 and the confluence pipe 93. The permeated water of the second RO device 94 joins the pipe 90 from the pipe 95 . Condensed water in the second RO device 94 is discharged outside the system through a pipe 96 .
 希薄水タンク97内の希薄水がポンプ98、配管99及び前記配管93を介して第2RO装置94に供給可能とされている。この試験例では、希薄水として上記脱塩水を用いる。 The dilute water in the dilute water tank 97 can be supplied to the second RO device 94 via the pump 98, the pipe 99 and the pipe 93. In this test example, the above desalted water is used as diluted water.
 図3は、通常の原水処理運転状態を示しており、ポンプ82が作動し、ポンプ98は停止している。原水は、第1RO装置86,87あるいはさらに第2RO装置94でRO処理され、透過水(脱塩水)と濃縮水とに分離される。  Fig. 3 shows a normal raw water treatment operating state, in which the pump 82 is operating and the pump 98 is stopped. The raw water is subjected to RO treatment by the first RO devices 86, 87 or the second RO device 94, and separated into permeated water (demineralized water) and concentrated water.
 図4は、第2RO装置94に希薄水を通水している状態を示している。図4では、ポンプ82を停止し、ポンプ98のみを作動させ、第1RO装置86,87への原水供給を停止している。第2RO装置94に希薄水タンク98内の希薄水が通水されることにより、第2RO装置94のスケールが溶解除去される。 FIG. 4 shows a state in which dilute water is passed through the second RO device 94 . In FIG. 4, the pump 82 is stopped, only the pump 98 is operated, and the raw water supply to the first RO devices 86 and 87 is stopped. The dilute water in the dilute water tank 98 is passed through the second RO device 94 to dissolve and remove the scale of the second RO device 94 .
 なお、図4では、第2RO装置94に希薄水を通水しているときに透過水を配管95に流出させないようにしているが、第2RO装置94に希薄水を通水しているときに透過水を配管95に流出させるようにしてもよい。 In FIG. 4, the permeated water is prevented from flowing out to the pipe 95 when dilute water is passed through the second RO device 94. However, when dilute water is passed through the second RO device 94, The permeated water may be allowed to flow out to the pipe 95 .
<模擬原水>
模擬原水として、塩化カルシウム(110mg/L)、炭酸水素ナトリウム(70mg/L)、メタケイ酸ナトリウム(1610mg/L)、塩化アルミニウム6水和物(0.45mg/L)、塩化第二鉄(0.4mg/L)、スケール防止剤(2-ホスホノブタン-1,2,4-トリカルボン酸)(10mg/L)を含有する水溶液を調製し、更に、水酸化ナトリウム水溶液又は硫酸水溶液でpHを5.5に調整したもの(水温20℃)を用いた。
<Simulated raw water>
As simulated raw water, calcium chloride (110 mg/L), sodium hydrogen carbonate (70 mg/L), sodium metasilicate (1610 mg/L), aluminum chloride hexahydrate (0.45 mg/L), ferric chloride (0 .4 mg/L) and a scale inhibitor (2-phosphonobutane-1,2,4-tricarboxylic acid) (10 mg/L) were prepared, and further adjusted to pH 5.0 with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution or an aqueous sulfuric acid solution. 5 (water temperature 20° C.) was used.
<希薄水>
 希薄水として、模擬原水を図3のようにRO装置に通水したときの透過水を用いた。なお、上記スケール防止剤を10mg/L添加した。
<Diluted water>
As diluted water, permeate water obtained by passing simulated raw water through an RO apparatus as shown in FIG. 3 was used. In addition, 10 mg/L of the above scale inhibitor was added.
[実施例1]
 図3,4の脱塩装置に、上記模擬原水と模擬希薄水とを次の順序及び条件で通水した。
[Example 1]
The simulated raw water and simulated dilute water were passed through the desalting apparatus shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 in the following order and under the following conditions.
<通水順序>
 模擬原水通水工程(図3):模擬原水を初期透過フラックス0.45m/D、通水流速0.1m/sとなるように通水し、回収率73%で運転を90分行った。(補正透過フラックスは、運転90分では、実質的には低下しない。)
希薄水通水工程(図4):模擬原水通水工程を90分行った後に、希薄水を模擬原水通水工程と同一の圧力、通水量にて30分通水する。その後、図3の模擬原水通水工程に戻る。
<Water flow order>
Simulated raw water flow process (Fig. 3): Simulated raw water was passed so that the initial permeation flux was 0.45 m/D and the water flow rate was 0.1 m/s, and the operation was carried out for 90 minutes at a recovery rate of 73%. (Corrected permeate flux does not drop substantially at 90 minutes of operation.)
Dilute water flow process (Fig. 4): After performing the simulated raw water flow process for 90 minutes, dilute water is passed for 30 minutes at the same pressure and water flow rate as the simulated raw water flow process. After that, the process returns to the simulated raw water passing step in FIG.
[比較例1]
 図3の模擬原水通水工程において、フラックスと初期標準化透過水量との比率が90%となったときに、図4の希薄水の通水(30分通水)に切り替えるようにしたこと以外は実施例1と同様にして図3の模擬原水通水及び図4の希薄水通水を交互に行った。
[Comparative Example 1]
Except that in the simulated raw water flow process of FIG. In the same manner as in Example 1, simulated raw water flow in FIG. 3 and dilute water flow in FIG. 4 were alternately performed.
[結果及び考察]
 模擬原水通水工程終了直前における第2RO装置94のフラックスFと初期フラックスFとの比F/Fを「補正透過水量比」として図5に示す。図5の通り、実施例1のように、RO膜のフラックスが低下する前に希薄水通水工程を行うことにより、RO膜の性能低下を防ぐことが可能となる。これに対し、フラックスと初期標準化透過水量との比率が90%となったときに、希薄水の通水に切り替えるようにした場合には、性能低下した脱塩装置の性能を十分に回復させることはできない(比較例1)。
[Results and discussion]
The ratio F/ F0 between the flux F of the second RO device 94 and the initial flux F0 immediately before the simulated raw water passing step is completed is shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 5, performance degradation of the RO membrane can be prevented by performing the dilute water passing step before the flux of the RO membrane decreases, as in Example 1. FIG. On the other hand, when the ratio of the flux to the initial standardized permeate amount reaches 90%, when the flow of dilute water is switched to, the performance of the desalinator, which has deteriorated, can be fully recovered. (Comparative Example 1).
